| Ross' first walk...well he rolled with mom dad and lots of his supporters and friends! Ready to do it again this year! |
Ross and friends who follow his blog!
Sorry that I have been on hiatus over the past few weeks! Trying to juggle lots of things right now and also get this video completed promoting our team, Ross' Rockstars and the annual Step up for Down Syndrome walk to help the Down Syndrome Guild of Greater Kansas City! I hope that you enjoy the video. It was so important that I was able to share the first 22 months of Ross' life with you all. I can tell you from the bottom of my heart that without the support of the KCDSG, the resources and education that they shared with my family, we would not have known what to do trying to raise a child with Down syndrome. I'm sure we would have figured it out but with the KCDSG's resources that they provided to us, we were better prepared for what was ahead once Ross arrived. It's not just our family that benefits from KCDSG. Their outreach programs touch the lives of over 1100 families, 45 school districts and 22 hospitals in the Kansas City metro area. Special seminars for teachers, therapists, parents and the general public helps educate and raise awareness on many issues affecting individuals with Down syndrome. The KCDSG also sponsors programs for our children and adults in the metro area such new parent breakfasts, sign language classes, Prom Night, Siblings night out, STARS program for teens, many community sub groups and events to bring together our extended families.
So I am trying to pull at your heartrstings with Ross' amazing video celebrating his accomplishments and also tug at your purse strings to help support the KCDSG and all who benefit from their programs. Please watch this video and see what these services have done to help Rebekah and I be the best parents we can be to Ross and see him through so many challenges. Challenges that are shared by many people with Down syndrome. If you would like to join our walk team please see the registration site at the link provided below.
